I have attended a Taxed
Enough Already (TEA) Party in Jonesboro Arkansas, April 15. We are
banding together to protest your following actions, all of which in some way or
another affect our taxes income.

* Your take-over of banks
and auto companies - private industries - and ousting the management and
setting salaries. Your Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Sunday that
he's "prepared to oust the senior management and boards of directors of other
banks." This reeks of dictatorship and socialism.

* Your refusal to allow
drilling for oil in Alaska and in our own country, and your energy policy, which
you, yourself, said: "Under my
plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."
In our area the manager
of an electricity company said it would increase every family's electric bill
$100 to $200 a month. Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZxnT5tHVIo

* Your support of
legislation setting aside more than 2 million acres in nine states as protected
wilderness (the biggest government land grab in 25 years) which will assure
there will be no drilling for oil on vast swaths of federal land. http://www.nwanews.com/adg/National/255750/

* Your policies on
abortion, and in particular: 1. your executive order that allows taxpayer money
to be used for funding abortion for international family planning groups. 2.
Your promise to Planned Parenthood to implement the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA)
which guarantees a woman the right to partial birth abortions, taxpayer funded
abortions, and will supersede every law and measure that society has used to
deter abortion. . http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=31746

* Slashing funds for the
missile defense shield program by 15% only a day after North Korea launched the
longest-range missile it has ever developed, and beginning the fulfillment of
your proclaimed policy to scale down national defense which will leave us
defenseless. This is particularly egregious in face of your gigantic increases
in other areas.

* Proclaiming to the Islam
world that "I've said before that one of the great strengths of the United
States is….we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation," when the
majority of people in our nation would disagree. Our nation has always been
known as a Christian nation ever since our founding fathers based our
Constitution and government on Christian principles and that has been our
strength, the foundation of our success.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/06/obama-us-not-a-christian_n_183772.html

* Your plan to implement
amnesty for illegal aliens and several other acts you have already taken
to dismantle some of the most successful immigration
enforcement programs like suspending worksite enforcement which holds employers
accountable if they hire illegal aliens.

* Your government universal
health care plan which most experts believe will exceed $1 trillion over 10
years, but will cut $316 billion from Medicare during that time. Medicare is an
example of government health care, and it is now facing insolvency by 2019. As
someone has said, "If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it's
free." Under your plan the federal government, not individuals, will decide
the level of health benefits for Americans, and these rules would apply to
all participating private health plans. If government health care is so
good, then why do people from all over the world come to the US for serious
illnesses.
